Men Have No God Given Authority To Dominate Women.

It is important that mothers and fathers teach your sons and daughters that No God gave men authority to dominate women. Creation's design for rational sentient pairs intended the human sexual dyad to be a symbiotic bond. Created out of the same elements, men and women have the same biological systems except for differences in the emotional, physical, and reproductive designs necessary for the propagation of the human species. You can subscribe to the biblical assertion in the book of Genesis that "God took a rib from Adam, the first man, to create Eve, the first woman"; or you can... Read more →

Women Say No To Abuses From Conservatives And Male Partners

More women need to take up the mantra: "How can I hear what you say when what you are keeps ringing in my ear?" If they did, fewer women would love and sleep with men who do not respect them, invade their personal space, deprive them of their personal rights, and abuse them. And fewer women would vote for politicians who do the same. Sadly and inexplicably American women continue to vote for right wing conservative politicians who are active participants in the rampant GOP war on women and who pointedly refuse to support the best interest of women, especially...

Confessions Of A Black Male Feminist.

When my daughter was 12 years old she asked me if I really liked the poetry books in my library written by female writers. The books were: Love Poems By Women, Loose Woman, and Ain't I A Woman?: A Book Of Women's Poetry From Around the World , and a non-poetry book: International Women's Stories. Her curiosity indicated that she was more pleased than surprised. So much so that for my birthday that year she gave me The Book Of Birth Poetry. Her appreciation and gift gave me an even greater incentive to read prose and poetry by female writers.... Read more →

What Did My Relationships With Other Women Teach My Daughter?

When my daughter, the only child of divorced parents, was a teen, she told me, "I want a man who will treat me like you treat me. But not like you treat other women." Perhaps I had a momentary mental blackout when she said it, but in my memory the comment came out of nowhere. In my mind, nothing in our conversation should have elicited that comment. Perhaps it was part of a conversation she carried on in her head. Perhaps it was just something she felt she needed to tell me. In my mind, it made me sit up... Read more →

Have Conservative Mothers Lost the Maternal Instinct To Protect Daughters?

What will it take for American Mothers to start protecting their daughters from conservative terror? The maternal instinct was once considered to be one of the strongest instinct in nature. While it seem to still be true with most members of the animal kingdom, it isn't nearly as true for humans as it might have been. Conservative mothers and conservative grandmothers especially seems to have been compromised in their willingness to protect daughters and granddaughters from the fascist style onslaught of conservative politicians who seem bent on denying their sons and daughters right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of...

Don't Let Needy Friends Make You Unhappy.

Sometimes you can never do enough for your needy friends. While that statement is true for your men and women friends, this article is mostly about the relationships you have with your needy women friends.

Domestic Abuse Is Not Just A Men And Women Problem.

One only need to read advice columns like Ann Landers, Dear Abby, and Carolyn Hax to realize that women suffer the most in abusive relationships.

What Can A Mother Teach Her Daughters About Men?

In a previous post I wrote about 21 Things Your Daughter Should Know About Men Before She Starts Dating. Predictably, some men objected to the article. They deemed it unfairly stereotypical and that it was not representative of all men. Of course it wasn't; nor did it pretend to be. That claim was never made for one very good reason, "all" never correctly applies to any group. Nevertheless, that salient fact does not negate the very real fact that there are many pitfalls in male-female relationship that young girls and their mothers encounter that can wreck havoc on their physical...

Women And The Bad Boy Syndrome: Taught, Learned, Or Real Addiction?

I sometimes wonder where some women, who otherwise seem intelligence, get the notion that it is cool, smart, sexy, or heroic to share their bed with a "bad boy". Where did they learn that loving a bad boy was a good thing for women to do. More importantly, having a choice, how does any woman arrive at the conclusion that a love relationship with a bad boy has any kind of up side to it. One wonders if this a lesson some mothers teach their daughters. One would guess that it is not the kind of lesson a mother who... Read more →

Women Are the Key To Human survival On Earth

The survival of the human race cannot rest in the hands of men. If the human race will escape extinction, then a successful destiny for our species must rest in the hands of women. On the surface, placing the mortal fate of our race in the hands of women seemingly makes the redemption of our species even more of an impossible task, and our eventual extinction a fate we cannot avoid. With few exceptions, for most of Earth's history, men have forced women, both young and old, to serve both secondary and inferior roles to men--as inferior companions, compliant sexual... Read more →
